Imran Khan's Sons Allege Harsh Prison Conditions and Personal Grudge by Army Chief

Imran Khan's Sons Allege Harsh Prison Conditions and Personal Grudge by Army ChiefPreviousNext

Imran Khan's sons, Kasim and Sulaiman, have accused Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir of holding a personal grudge against their father, the former prime minister imprisoned since 2023 on corruption charges. They allege Khan is being subjected to harsh conditions, including solitary confinement in a small cell, denial of family visits, and neglect of his eye condition, raising concerns about his health. The family has also faced visa delays preventing travel to Pakistan to advocate for his release. The Pakistan Supreme Court is set to rule on related hospital treatment and visitation issues.
